Nested Sub reports

Question

Hi All,
Please suggest how can I achieve this requirement.
As we know cr does't supports nested sub reports, but my requirement is similar to this.
I have a main report which displays country wise data.
If I click a particular country It should show respected location names which contains some data in details(coming from sub report 1).
If I click particular location it should show respected locations data(coming from sub report 2)..
For country to location I did using on demand sub report.
Please suggest is there any work around to achieve this.

Hi Kalyan,
Nested Subreport is Not supported in CR however if you have CR Server or BO Enterprise Server you can do something like this:
1) First create a report that shows details for the 'Location' report. The report should have a prompt called 'Location' and should return data for the selected location. Saved this report to the Enterprise repository in a folder.
2) Create a report that returns data for the Countries. Then, create a group on the Country field and add the Subreport that returns data Location Names in each Country and place it on the Group Header/Group Footer
3) Link the Main Report Country field with the Subreport's Country Field and make this an on-demand Subreport. I guess you've already completed this.
4) Inside this Subreport, right-click the Location field > Format Field > Hyperlink tab > Select 'A website on the Internet' > Click 'Create Enterprise hyperlink' > Log-in to the repository > Browse to the folder where you saved the report created in Step 1.
An openDoc URL pointing to the Location Details report is automatically created. Make sure the
openDoc URL contains the lsS attribute.
